Why Are 75 Hives Of Dead Bees Touring The USA?
Although the pesticide industry is spending millions of dollars in an effort to convince the public that neonicotinoid pesticides are not responsible for the global decline of our pollinators, especially honeybees, there are new efforts being made to prove that these chemicals must be banned.
In this week’s segment of The Neonicotinoid View, host June Stoyer and Tom Theobald talk to commercial migratory beekeeper, James Cook about the Keep The Hives Alive Tour. The tour is an effort to educate the public about the true impact of neonicotinoid pesticides on honeybees. Also joining the discussion is bee health advocate and environmental author, Graham White who will share his views about why mainstream media paved the way for industry to exploit this effort to mislead the public.
Open Letter to American Beekeepers
The Presidential Task Force Report on Bee and Pollinator Health has been widely condemned for failing to address the primary cause of bee-deaths in America: pesticides. Environmental NGOs have strongly criticized the Task Force Report including: PANNA, Beyond Pesticides, Center for Food Safety, Friends of the Earth, National Resources Defense Council and EcoWatch. The central criticism is that this report gives pesticides a free pass in relation to bee colony deaths.
